In my opinion, the iPad is not revolutionary. Although, it is meant to introduce a new category of products separate from that of a computer. It is merely a scaled up version of the iPhone/iTouch because its operating system is identical to the existing operating system used by the iTouch/iPhone. However, it is undeniable that all Apple operating systems are revolutionary, such as the linking of real life finger motions. For example, flipping a page with a flick of the finger.
The iPad acts like a response to the similar products that already exist on the market, such as the ebook, Kindle, and tablet pc. It is equivalent to an upgrade of a tablet pc with an additional touch sensitive screen.
